Would-be soap opera character Tori Locklear is a YouTube tutorialist — that’s gonna look good on a college application — whose advice should come with a giant DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PERSON YOU MAY DIE IF YOU TAKE HER ADVICE, OR AT LEAST BURN YOUR HAIR OFF warning. To quote Opposing Views, because I know as much about hair styling as I do why someone would even want to record a how-to video:

Tori Locklear wanted lots of hits on her YouTube video tutorial, showing how to curl hair with a curling iron, and she’s getting them alright. Because she burned her hair OFF. I have been curling my hair for about 30 damn years and I have never had a section of my hair burn off like this. Either she had VERY over processed hair (it doesn’t appear that way though) or that curling iron is literally from hell. (Via)

*shivers* ICK. When I was 7, I used my mom’s 90’s heat brush to try to curl my hair like Sandy from Grease. Since I didn’t know what I was doing, I just grabbed a huge chunk of hair at the top front of my head and when it got so entangled in this unfamiliar contraption I was using, the only solution was to just cut off that huge chunk of hair. At least it didn’t completely burn off. Still looked stupid, though, I’m sure.

That look on her face at around 1:40 is a pretty clear indicator that she just realized she fucked up, and sees what she’s done, and has no intention of admitting to it.

I have a wife and daughters and a sister in law and a girlfriend from years ago and a sister who all curl their hair, and I was watching her with the curling iron thinking “I don’t think you’re supposed to hold it that tight for that long.”

I think she had the curling iron on higher than she thought she did, like she turned it on high to warm it up faster then forgot to turn it down before she used it.
